Celestial Season's Greetings from Hubble

December 19, 2006: Swirls of gas and dust reside in this ethereal-looking region
of star formation imaged by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
This majestic view of LH 95, located in the Large Magellanic
Cloud, reveals a region where low-mass, infant stars and
their much more massive stellar neighbors reside. A
shroud of blue haze gently lingers amid the stars. The
image was taken in March 2006 with Hubble's Advanced
Camera for Surveys.
